How to stop texts from freezing up

iPhone 12 Pro max.

I open my texts, and this happens a lot more with one contact than the others but it still happens to all, - the texts freeze up. I can not type (or it lags a lot), I can not delete anything, the texts do not scroll up/down. I found a post in here about resetting the keyboard dictionary and I tried that and it worked for about a minute then did the exact same thing.

I always have to completely exit out of the text app.

anyone have a solution?

iPhone Voice to Text punctuation not working - iOS 17 Update Has anybody else noticed that the punctuation when using voice to text is suddenly really terrible? I’m fully disabled with hand disabilities that make corrections not just difficult, but exceedingly painful, and suddenly voice to text is adding periods, where I don’t want periods, commas, where I don’t want commas, doesn’t capitalize the first letter on sentences, and is generally so much worse than it was before I updated. The update I currently have is 16.1.2. I need it to stop. 16.1.2 broke my home screen, my ability to stream on almost all of my streaming services through HDMI, and my ability to speak and have my iPhone translated into a legible sentence. the home screen is just annoying, but the other two are something that severely impacts the disabled community, and I am so disappointed in Apple. [Re-Titled by Moderator] dear Apple, please understand that this is not just an annoying bug, it is a bug that causes me severe pain from having to fix the problem, and strips me of my ability to communicate clearly if I don’t fix the problem. I was so grateful for voice to text before, but not now. please do something.
